This, my dears, was no ordinary February.
This was the big one.
Pardon me. The only appropriate use of the words “the big one” at Tabby’s Place is in reference to Dumpling. Mea culpa.
But still, this February…it hulked.
We’re talking twenty-nine toasty days of unseasonable warmth, huge happenings, and leaping feline largesse. Many a month gives us cause for thanksgiving, but few scale the summits of February.
So before we March forth too swiftly, let’s honor the twenty-nine days that were:
Arrived: Spike; Tootsie; Judy; Sketch; Peanut; Lucinda; Scofield; Veronica; Katie; Susan; Maricruz; Sara; Gogi; Twister; Linda; Sanfour; Bounty; Fernando; Sasha; Sabrina
Adopted: Candace; Hana; Polly; Thalia; Wilson; April; Tiggs; Sage; Gose; Kolsch; Spike; Jack; BooBear; Blueberry; Chloe
Returned: Wilson
Cleared from Quarantine: Snippers (pictured in top thumbnail); Anita; Fenek; Finn; Pierogi; Cecil; Sesame
Cleared from Ringworm: Tadpole; Toad; Topache
Banished to Ringworm: Circe; Figaro; Talena

The gauntlet has been thrown down, March. Do your thirty-one days dare to rival fat February’s splendor? Color us ready. Or at least shamrock-shake green.
Wonderful adoptions! The big and the little and the sweet and the shy ones, all going to awesome adopters! A time for laughter and a time for tears. Kirk – Newman – wonderful, loving cats – Jupiter, we are glad Tabby’s Place was your last glimpse this side of heaven. P.S. Don’t forget to wash your hands!
